* Impossible to automatically save the subtitles on Windows if the path to your video contain non ASCII (non-english) characters and the "search by hash" method will be slower.
* The "search by hash" method will fail on Windows if for video files >2Go (if VLC is compiled with lua 5.1 anyway)

I see "...or use the installer below if you're on Windows 7 " but don't see anything below but lots of comments about this not working. Where is the installer???? i'm not super techie but it would be nice to get a subtitle once in a while.

i dont like the opensubtitles subs:
- they insert advertising inside the movie!
- they mention their name at the end of the subtitles, BEFORE the end of the movie, come on, could they wait the credits at least ?
- many times the subs found are not accurate to the file, not synced, or HI

Now i get subs from subscene, they're more reliable and less annoying. Too bad because VLSub was a great idea.

When I look for subs by name/hash, sometimes the "vlsub x.x.x is not responding" message apear while it find the subtitles aviable. It also downloads but not loading them with no errors showing in the screen. (I hope i express my self being spanish 1rst language)

VLSub still needs SSL support. I just update some of the languages with the VLC translators and put them on my forked version. This version has also a workaround link for the online translations, now on pastebin, that uses also http and is reachable by VLSub.
If you want to have this updated translations or a working download link for them just
use my updated version. More details you'll find on the github forum here:

SSL could be very important for VLSub, when also opensubtitles change his services completely to SSL someday, this extension won't work anymore. It's not so easy to include SSL support in VLSub, we need someone with more lua skills but we must keep that in mind, that this unsolved issue can make VLSub useless someday.
Thanks.
